    Why don't you wear them for workouts?

    What shoe did you wear for your marathon?

     

    I used to wear them for workouts, but I sort of phased that out in the latter part of this cycle. If they do make your workouts faster, does that actually give you training benefit, or just give you better splits? Anyway in some cases I was traveling and didn't want to bring multiple shoes. In other cases I had something like tempo intervals in a 12-14 mile total run, and thought I'd rather have the extra cushioning. In general I just figured I'd save them for races. Although, really it looks like I should be wearing these & saving the Ghosts.

     

    I did wear them for the marathon.

      Wait, what? When were they on sale??

       

      I thought they were when you bought them, I guess not then.

       

      I still have a pair of DST 18s, DS 10s, and PC 4s in the box, not to mention a pair of each in rotation.

        No. They were/are a relatively new model, no idea if/when they're coming out with an update. Or, how well they're selling. I've rarely seen other people wearing them at races.

          I'm trying to kick that habit. I only have one pair in a box right now, and am really trying not to buy anything new until I'm down to maybe 3 usable pairs. I have 5 pairs right now in my rotation, plus the pair in the box, plus 2 pairs dedicated to winter (screws). But these last two don't count.

            Just 2 in the rotation, a box of each waiting in the wings, plus the racers.

              Did a cross training type DVD.

               

              I have 5 pairs of shoes that I wear. Plus 1 pair in the box. For the Baltimore half, one of DH's friends spent the night and decided to sleep in our gym/guest room where I keep my shoes. DH asked if I need anything from there, I described the shoes I wanted. He came back with 3 pairs.

                Ran 5 with hubby, OUTSIDE.  Too bad we'll be back to Miami weather tomorrow.  It was nice while it lasted.

                  Noticed you're not giving your shoe count. You'd need some advanced calculus to come up with that number.

                    Amount of shoes?  I don't know.  I might be below 50 since I retired a shit ton, but I doubt it.

                     

                    Now if you ask about INKnBURN pieces, I might need a spreadsheet.

                      I was having an entire conversation with Bruno tonight and he was just tilting his head back and forth and listening so intently!

                       

                      Jetta does not just sit, she is too spastic and excited about everything... Sometimes it's funny, sometimes I wish she'd mature.
